\"2009<\/p>\n

Ford\u2019s European performance division is teasing the Focus RS500, a high-po variant of the already-fast Focus RS<\/a> (pictured above). For now all we have is this teaser video<\/a> and a promise of more information in five days\u2019 time. Autocar<\/a> is reporting the RS500 will gain 50 hp over the standard RS, totaling 350 hp and be limited to just 500 copies\u2014hence \u201cRS500\u201d.<\/p>\n

Like the current Focus RS, the RS500 will be aimed squarely at European markets. But using the latest 2012 Focus platform, Ford has already promised a performance variant<\/a> for American shoppers. It won\u2019t be as hardcore as the Euro RS models, and it’s unknown if it will wear an SVT or ST badge, but at least we’ll get in on some of the fun.<\/p>\n
